Requiring or demanding immediate attention (6)

I believe the answer is:

urgent

(Other definitions for urgent that I've seen before include "Pressing, compelling" , "Needing immediate action" , "Needing early action" , "Calling for immediate attention" , "demanding speedy action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
